accio brick - the lego harry potter comm

In the dead of night (do they never sleep???), JB Spielwaren, a German lego store and one of my local sources for my colorful plastic habit, has posted pictures of the new Harry Potter lego Polybag, and they're far cooler than expected! (And also a cheery thanks to brickmerge.de, my hands down favorite price tracker in Germany, for the heads up that the pictures were out there.)

As we'd heard, it is in fact Quidditch themed polybag, 30651 Quidditch Practice, but contrary to previous rumors, it does not feature Ron (sorry, Ron), no, it's Cho Chang in the long desired Ravenclaw Quidditch robes at what is finally a broadly accessible price! W00t!

And w00t again!

I've never been so happy to see Cho in my life. 😆( Read more... )

Now, what are the chances Cho's alternative face is sleeping? (Having already disappointed me on this count with 76411 the Ravenclaw House Banner, I'm thinking slim to none. 😆) She's still the only one of the Second Task victims / treasures / rewards we don't have a sleeping face for, and given their preferred choice of darker skin tones for her, that makes it more difficult to find a substitution that's in keeping with the other versions of her minifig. Sleeping Cho! Sleeping Cho! Sleeping Cho! Sleeping Cho! 😴💤💤💤

What If...

What if the 2022 Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar focused on the Order of the Phoenix's Christmas at 12 Grimmauld Place in 1995? With the release of the lovely Grimmauld Place set this year and an abundance of canonical Christmas material, it seems such a shame that it didn't, so with the magic of Mecabricks, let's just pretend it did... Hey Presto!
